I read about this place on Trip Advisore and thought we would visit the Sea Turtle, Inc during our short stay at Padre Island. I'm glad that we did, my daughters and I enjoyed viewing 5 different species of sea turtles, along with learning about the rescue mission of the center and other interesting sea turtle facts. This is not... more

This is an excellent time for an activity that is enjoyable and educational. Kids and adults will take something memorable away from this visit.

I have been to STI for the last two years when we vacation in SPI. It is my favorite place to go when I get on the island.

My 7 year old son and I visited Sea Turle Inc recently and we both had a good time. This is not a fancy place but they do really good work and run on donations.

We really enjoyed going to Sea Turtle Inc. It was really nice to see the turtles close up. We really enjoyed the presentation and glad that they were lecturing on how to protect these turtles in the wild. Very friendly staff. more

One of the places that is actually about nature on the island. Let's hope the overbuilding and garbage on SPI doesn't push these beautiful creatures out. Take the whole family and buy some souviners! more

Small but excellent. Informative and doing invaluable work saving sea turtles and speading the message of conservation. Wouldn't do any harm to raise the contribution a little from the current $3, or novel idea, perhaps some people could just leave more. more

For the minimal fee of 3 dollars a person this is a very educational place to visit. They have a tour and you can take pics with the giant sea turtles. You can also feed them. My hubby and I really enjoyed visiting this place. might just return this year, when we go to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. more
